<p>Just tag parts of your text to be in different languages, and a flag will appear next to the text and allows users to switch between them.</p>
<p>No other elements of the blog will be translated.</p>
<p>Use <code>[:gb]</code> to specify that the following text part is english, or use any other two char language code.<br />
To use one text block in multiple languages use e.g. <code>[:gb,de]</code>, which is handy for parts like images.<br />
Write <code>[:*]</code> to use the block in all (within the text already known) languages.<br />
You can without any problem mix many of those tags. e.g. <code>[:gb]english-intro[:de]german-intro[:*]common image[...]</code>.</p>
<p>Optionally also the title of a text can be multilingual, but requires theme modification.</p>
<p>The flags can be placed:</p>
<ul>
<li>next to the text. This is the default and do work out of the box.</li>
<li>next to the title. This requires a template change.</li>
<li>an other place. If you would like to place e.g. the flags in a widget (which is included).</li>
</ul>
<h3>Thanks</h3>
<p>Thanks to:</p>
<ul>
<li>zorun for the flags</li>
<li>Tamas, Anton for beta testing</li>
</ul>
<h3>Contributing</h3>
<p>You may overwork the readme and also the other texts… that would be great.</p>
<p>If you have ideas/bugs please contact me.</p>
<h3>Code</h3>
<p>The package also contains an version for PHP5.3+. The file is functional identical to the other one (which only requires PHP 5.2) but makes usage of a nice new feature and is easier to read/write.</p>
<p>When WordPress requires PHP5.3+ (sometime in the future) that file will be used.</p>
<h3>Flags</h3>
<p>The flags are from http://www.free-country-flags.com/ and under CC-BY-SA License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/).</p>

<p><a href="http://wpml.org" rel="nofollow ugc">WPML</a> stores each entry as a separate post and uses some custom tables to connect the translations.<br />
If you de-activate the plugin or have issues with functionality related to version updates, you get one site with multi-lingual confusion.<br />
See <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/r3df/getting-word-press-to-speak-your-langauge/" rel="nofollow ugc">Getting WordPress to speak your language</a> for more details how /<br />
why using a WordPress MultiSite / Network is becomming the recommended strategy for multilingual sites. At least until it is fully supported in core.</p>
<p>This plugin:</p>
<ul>
<li>Converts the WPML translation records into meta fields on actual posts or post types</li>
<li>Helps with the export/import to your new WPMS site the data.</li>
<li>Restores the meta data back to options so that <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/multisite-language-switcher/" rel="ugc">Multisite Language Switcher</a> will recognize all your translations.</li>
</ul>
<p>You will need to handle conversion of any strings, .po files or other language elements separately.</p>

<h3>TO-DO’s</h3>
<p>= Complete the enhancements for WordPress export. =<br />
Currently, if you have 100 posts translated into 3 languages, you would export all posts once, import that same .xml file into 3 sites and delete the 200 from each<br />
site which are not the corresponding language. Then, you would be able to run steps 7 and 8 of the usage instructions above. With an enhanced WordPress export feature<br />
built into this plugin you would be able to specify the language for export to filter files. In that same scenario, you would run 3 exports (100 posts each of unique<br />
language) and import each language-based export file into the new sites before running the same steps 11 thru 13 above.</p>
<h3>Source and Development</h3>
<p>WPML2WPMSLS welcomes friendly contributors wanting to lend a hand, be it in<br />
the form of code through SVN patches, user support, platform portability<br />
testing, security consulting, localization help, etc.</p>
<p>The [current] goal is to keep the plugin self-contained (ie: no 3rd-party lib)<br />
for easier security maintenance, while keeping the code clean and extensible.</p>
<p>Active development for the plugin is handled via GitHub with releases being published to the WordPress Plugin Repository:</p>
<ul>
<li>Development: <a href="https://github.com/Idealien/wpml2wpmsls/" rel="nofollow ugc">https://github.com/Idealien/wpml2wpmsls/</a></li>

</ul>
